In Shingetsu Village, occupied by Shishio's forces, Kenshin comes face to face with his nemesis Makoto Shishio far sooner than expected. But Shishio declares that a Kenshin who no longer kills is not worth fighting, and walks away. In his place stands the strongest of the Ten Swords: Sojiro Seta, the smiling boy swordsman known as the Tenken. Against his emotionless, godlike speed, Kenshin fights a desperate duel and has the reverse-blade sword passed down from his master snapped in two. Weaponless and cornered, Kenshin faces off against a foe whose bright smile hides a terrible emptiness.

Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 9 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
With his reverse-blade sword broken, Kenshin is forced to retreat, but in the process the secret of Sojiro's monstrous power is revealed: the Shukuchi, in which he suppresses all emotion to push his reaction speed to the absolute limit. Sojiro turns out to be a tragic figure, twisted by childhood abuse into embracing Shishio's creed that only the strong deserve to live. Kenshin sets out to find a new reverse-blade sword, following the legacy of the swordsmith Arai Shakku. This volume carefully lays the groundwork for the true showdown with Sojiro and the famous scene where the boy's heart finally collapses.
